The error message kinda said it all.Open TCP port 443 on your firewall. Allowing firewall to pass HTTPS protocol is the same thing.

Most web traffic is transmited in plain text using Hyper Text TRANSFER Protocol (HTTP) thru TCP port 80 (the default port). Most secure web traffic is transmited as encrypted text using HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer protocol (HTTPS) thru TCP port 443 (the default port). From the message reported by the user it appears the firewall is blocking his traffic.

The user may:

o Drop his firewall, allowing all traffic thru (come on in... everyone's welcome)

o Allow firewall to permit all traffic to/from his application, MediaCatcher (It's OK, I'm a friend of MediaCatcher...)

o Allow firewall to pass all HTTPS traffic; open TCP port 443 (We allow secure web traffic for everyone...)

o Allow firewall to pass 443 traffic only for his application, MediaCatcher

If you tell us which firewall (and version) you're using, maybe someone with that firewall could tell you how to configure it to open TCP port 443.

PP, why did you bother posting that?
